    摘要: A system for a power generation plant includes a boiler having a superheater, a first header fluidly coupled to an outlet of the superheater and being configured to receive steam from the superheater, a turbine elevated to a location generally adjacent to the outlet of the superheater, and a main steam piping system extending from the first header to the turbine and being configured to direct a flow of the steam from the first header to the turbine. The system further includes a flexible portion upstream from the first header operative to flex with respect to the first header and the boiler due to a thermal displacement of the boiler.

    摘要: A modular heat recovery steam generator (mHRSG) comprises a first boiler module comprising a plurality of pipes having at least one pipe with a flanged end; a first piping deck comprising a plurality of pipes having at least one pipe with a flanged end, wherein the pipe with the flanged end is secured to the pipe with the flanged end of the first boiler module using bolts; a second boiler module comprising a plurality of pipes having at least one pipe with a flanged end; a second piping deck comprising a plurality of pipes having at least one pipe with a flanged end, wherein the pipe with the flanged end is secured to the pipe with the flanged end of the second boiler module using bolts; and a main stack. The first boiler module is operatively coupled to the second boiler module and the second boiler module is operatively coupled to the main stack.

    摘要: A resistance point welding apparatus for fixing a turbulence installation body to an inner wall of a steam generator pipe, having a welding head, which is introduced into the pipe and includes a lance having an electrically conductive material, a point welding electrode, which projects out of the lance in the radial direction, an effective element and an insulation body, which is opposite the point welding electrode in the radial direction and is moved by the effective element, is provided. The lance is tapered at a defined distance from the welding head end such that the insulation body and the point welding electrode press the turbulence installation body against the inner wall of the pipe when the effective element is activated. When a welding stream is impressed on the lance, a point-like welding stream flows via the point welding electrode to a counter electrode arranged outside the pipe.

    摘要: A boiler tube clamp including a first U-shaped midsection configured for pressing against one side of a boiler tube, a first hinge member arranged on one end of the first midsection, a threaded bolt hingedly attached to the other end of the first midsection, and a second U-shaped midsection configured for pressing against the other side of the boiler tube. The clamp further includes a second hinge member arranged on one end of the second midsection and hingedly connected to the first hinge member so that the first inner surface and the second inner surface close toward one another. A lip extends radially out from the second midsection and a jackscrew extends through the lip for adjusting the distance a boiler tube contained by the clamp extends into a boiler through a boiler header.

    摘要: A steam dispersion system including insulation is disclosed. The steam dispersion system may include a steam dispersion tube with at least one opening defined on an outer surface of the steam dispersion tube and a hollow interior. The insulation covers at least a portion of the steam dispersion tube, the insulation defining an opening aligned with the opening of the steam dispersion tube, wherein the insulation meets 25/50 flame/smoke indexes for UL723/ASTM E-84 and has a thermal conductivity less than about 0.35 Watts/m−K (2.4 in−hr/ft̂2 deg F.). A nozzle defining a throughhole may be placed within the opening of the steam dispersion tube, the throughhole being in fluid communication with the hollow interior of the steam dispersion tube to provide a steam exit.
